Ok , now I''m going to tell you about my wildest dreams about 3D-worlds.
Putting many genres for one game is so mad / crazy idea that it''s not going to become standard just yet. Later on, when competition goes REALLY HARD with comp.games, and the internet bandwith is high quality, I believe, that there will rise company over every other company, that is going to have almost monopoly posission, as Microsoft. Then this company is going to start most of the engine creating, like ID did, and start to sell lisence for other creators. This engine becomes standard, that can be expanded with external libraries, and it''s compatible with new versions of engine.
The reason why I believe that this is going to happen, is that it''s the only way to create COMPLICATED engine, and world. Even if programmers would have whole technology to create whatever kind of game they want to create, they don''t have time to model everything ultrarealistic way. Just for example, wind: wind blows and causes trees to tilt. This is way too complicated to create everytime when new engine is going to be developed, because there simply is no time to do it as "extra".
There needs to be standard, that can be easily Lisenced for commercial use, and it''s going to be something like Quake 5 -engine, or so

Heh, just my visions.
Another thing that I believe, is new coming of old style adventure games. When public realizes that shooting becomes boring, they start to look for games like "clue", detective games, adventure games and so on. This games probaply are not like old ones, but maybe more like Outcast. Still, this is coming... I think... I hope... I really hope

One reason why I believe this, is that developers probaply are looking ALL THE TIME way to create "intelligent" AI, and one step is the time, when computer starts to "act". If I''m right, we have good example which is Erasmator 2.0, but I cannot confirm this because the creator COULDN''T EXPLAIN enought what this program is !
I just believe, that this program can create computer actors, that can act to different happenings in real time, and "communicate" with player... If someone knows more about this, tell me, I''m really interested !
